Rivlin Stands Up for Islam

Israeli President Reuven Rivlin defended Islam in a U.N. address, stating that “neither the West, nor the Christians, nor the Jews are at war with Islam.” Rivlin made his remarks at a General Assembly ceremony for International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Rivlin’s father created the first Hebrew translation of the Koran “and was a believer in the importance of dialogue and the cultural significance of the Koran for all the children of Abraham.”
